MIAMI --Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay left Monday night's game against the
Miami Marlins in the first inning with what the team described as right-arm fatigue.

"Really, the last few starts, I just haven't been getting that bounce back in between," said Halladay, 36. "I have zero pain, which is good, but talking to the doctor, he said I just need rest."

The two-time Cy Young Award winner said he planned to skip his final start this season though he hadn't discussed it with the team yet. The free-agent-to-be -- he'll fall short of an innings-pitched milestone that would give him a player option -- added he planned to pitch next season, hopefully in Philadelphia.

Halladay exited with two Marlins on base -- both courtesy of walks -- and one out after throwing 16 pitches. He was credited with allowing one earned run in his one-third of an inning and his fastest pitch was clocked at 83 mph.

"To see him out there at 83 mph, I was like, 'Man, this guy's not feeling good at all,' " Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Obviously, for all of us that have seen him when he was sharp and throwing hard . . . I remember facing him when he was so tough to hit ... so, I look at it as a guy going out there giving it everything he has."
